| Backup integrations | The platform lists integrations or workload optimizations for Veeam, Rubrik, Commvault, Veritas, Cohesity, NetBackup, Actifio and Nasuni. | OpenEBS volume backup and restore works with Velero and object-storage targets including AWS S3, GCP Object Storage and MinIO. |
| Integrations | The maker lists technology partners including AWS, Commvault, Cribl, CTERA, Dremio, HPE, Kasten by Veeam, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Rubrik, Snowflake, Splunk, Teradata, Veeam, Veritas, VMware, and others. | OpenEBS documents integrations with Prometheus, Grafana, Alert Manager, ELK, Loki, Logstash, Velero, OpenShift, EKS, DigitalOcean, Rancher, MicroK8s, and KubeSphere. |
| Purpose | HyperStore is enterprise-scale object storage software for capacity-intensive workflows and large volumes of unstructured data. | OpenEBS provides local or distributed persistent volumes for Kubernetes stateful workloads. |
| Security | Listed security features include encryption in transit and at rest, secure multitenancy, KMIP, role-based access controls, IAM, SAML, MFA, Secure Shell, and Object Lock. | Replicated PV Mayastor REST API TLS is available but security features are opt-in and plaintext communication remains the default. |
| Support | Cloudian describes four service levels—HyperCare, Premier, Standard Support, and Basic Support—and says its global support and professional services teams are available 24×7. | Users can file GitHub issues or ask questions in the Kubernetes Slack #openebs channel. |

OpenEBS
OpenEBS is open-source Kubernetes storage software for developers and platform SREs deploying stateful workloads. It turns storage on Kubernetes worker nodes into local or distributed persistent volumes and operates in userspace rather than relying on Linux kernel-dependent software. Its engines include Replicated PV Mayastor and local volumes using Hostpath, LVM, ZFS, or experimental Rawfile. Mayastor can synchronously replicate volumes across Kubernetes zones. Kubernetes-native operations provide copy-on-write snapshots and clones, while Velero plugins support backup and restore to AWS S3, GCP Object Storage, or MinIO. Volumes expose metrics including IOPS, throughput, latency, and traffic patterns for Prometheus and Grafana. OpenEBS also exposes declarative APIs through Kubernetes custom resources and can be installed with Helm 3.2 or newer. Mayastor disk pools support data-at-rest encryption with user-defined AES-XTS keys. Listed use cases include self-managed databases, observability stacks, CI/CD, object storage, websites, and ML pipelines. Mayastor DiskPools are limited to one block device, and encryption keys cannot be rotated.
